<P>
 
<H2><A NAME="sect4" HREF="#toc4">X RESOURCES</A></H2>
No X resources are used  only command-line options. <P>
 
<H2><A NAME="sect5" HREF="#toc5">TITLES 
AND ICONS</A></H2>
The window and icon titles are set to the day of the week and 
the date. The icon window is "active" and will show the time, if supported 
by the window manager. <P>
 
<H2><A NAME="sect6" HREF="#toc6">REMINDERS</A></H2>
The <B>~/.rclock</B> file lists the messages to 
display and/or the programs to run at specified times and dates. At the 
specified time, <B>rclock</B> will pop-up a window in the center of the screen 
to display the message or will simply run the scheduled program. <B></B> rclock 
will reads the <B>~/.rclock</B> file at startup, and every 10 minutes (to look 
for changes) and after a message window has been dismissed (to find the 
next appointment). <P>
 An entry in <B>~/.rclock</B> may be one of two formats (blank 
and comment lines will be ignored): <P>
<B>hh:mm  [dd]  MM/DD/YY message[; program]</B> 
or<BR>
 <B>[hh:mm  [dd]  MM/DD/YY [message]]; program</B> <BR>
<B>hh</B> - hour (0-23; * = current) 
<B>mm</B> - minute (0-59; * = 0) <B>dd</B> - days-of-week (some/all/none of umtwrfs; * = 
all) <B>MM</B> - month (1-12; * = current) <B>DD</B> - day of month (1-31; * = current) 
<B>YY</B> - year (0-99 or 1900-????; * = current) <B>message</B> - message to display <B>program</B> 
- program to execute <P>
The days-of-the-week use the following abbreviations: 
<B>u</B>=Sunday, <B>m</B>=Monday, <B>t</B>=Tuesday, <B>w</B>=Wednesday, <B>r</B>=Thursday, <B>f</B>=Friday, <B>s</B>=Saturday, 
<B>*</B>=all. <P>
If <B>message</B> is empty and <B>program</B> has been specified, it is executed 
without a dialog box. If time/date are also not specified, <B>program</B> is executed 
on start-up. Note <B>message</B> may contain escape values (\n: newline, \;: semicolon). 
<P>
 Here's a silly example file that shows some of the permissible constructs: 
<BR>
# ~/.rclock - My appointment file<BR>
 <P>
 # startup functions<BR>
 ; xsetroot -solid 
Black &amp;<BR>
 <P>
 # cron functions<BR>
 <P>
 10:00; xsetroot -solid Grey25 &amp;<BR>
 14:00; xsetroot 
-solid Grey75 &amp;<BR>

<H2><A NAME="sect7" HREF="#toc7">ENVIRONMENT</A></H2>
<B>rclock</B> uses the environment variable <B>MAIL</B> to determine 
the location of the user's mail spool file. <P>
 
<H2><A NAME="sect8" HREF="#toc8">BUGS</A></H2>
<B>rclock</B> is not very smart 
about dealing with errors encountered while reading the <B>~/.rclock</B> file. 
Each reminder must be a single line not exceeding 255 characters. Reminder 
windows are sometimes not redrawn (left blank) when raised or uncovered. 
<P>
